From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 meeting, Avery County School Board updated Policy Code 9115 to require prequalification for some construction bids and CM at Risk projects. The policy sets screening criteria for contractor experience, bonding, finances, staffing, and safety, and it creates appeal steps before bid opening. This is a buying trigger for future school construction work because only prequalified firms can bid when the district uses the process.
